Is Petsmart a good place to take your dog for training?
I have a 7 month Shepherd/lab mix who I found wandering the streets. She has been “diagnosed” (by the vet)with fear aggression and it was suggested (by the Petsmart people) that I get her into some puppy classes. I am just leary of what kind of actual training these people have had working with dogs that have behavior issues? Does anyone have any positive or negative experiences with the Petsmart training classes?
Thank you
She is fine with other dogs and people once she gets to know them. It just seems that everytime I watch those Petsmart classes the trainers look so young?
I took my puppy to Petsmart for training but I would not recommend this for you. You need a more professional trainer with years of training in order to deal with fear aggression. The busy climate in Petsmart could trigger your dog to have a fear aggression attack. You don’t want your dog attacking someone or another dog if its scared. These trainers aren’t equiped to deal with this problem. I would search around for a better more educated trainer.
